This thesis implies language carries all of the meaning required to have an effect on the world.
To use a crude metaphor, language could be just an API schema. Is there content accessible via the schema that is more meaningful than the schema itself? For APIs, yes. I think so for language too.
Not to mention the possibility of side channels. That, at the same moment any human reads any text, they receive extra information to help them understand that information.
